How many "remain" voters were school prefects?

[bkgirl]

Seriously, just realised, out of my friends over 70% I reckon were school prefects. Can't be a co-incidence! Can it? :)

I wasn't. Didn't have the right attitude, so I was told by the headmaster

Lol MsKite, me neither (though not a remainer). Not only that, the nun in charge told me I was only one in our year she wasn't asking to be a nun :)
I was really pleased.

Half the country can't have been a prefect!

Disclaimer: I voted remain and was a prefect

Leaver - Head girl

We didn't have prefects at my school. But I SO would've been one if they did. Voted stay.

I wasn't. They never picked the short girls. Never.

I wasn't. I wasn't enough of a joiner-inner.

Nope neither me nor DH nor any of our siblings. All remain voters.

It's unlikely many remain voters were school prefects. As not many people were school prefects

But were many school prefects might well have voted Remain.

But making someone a school prefect at random would not make them a Remain voter.

Causation and correlation.

No, I wasn't a prefect. I didn't fit in.

No, I was a total black sheep.

I did run the Chess Club though.

Voted remain.
Expelled from three schools and put in pupil referral unit

I left school at 16, shortly before they kicked me out...so um, no, lol

Indeed, just thought it was odd so many of my mates who voted remain were indeed school prefects at their various schools. I was just wondering had anyone else found the same stats :)

I'm surprised you know so many school prefects

I have no idea of my friends were prefects because that was 30 yrs ago

LOL, funny I know enough about most of the remainers (mates) but some of the leavers I couldn't actually tell you. Must go round asking!!!! lol

Did you leave school quite recently and you all knew each other at school? Because I have absolutely no idea which of my friends were school prefects. It's not something that really comes up in conversation, ever, is it?

I voted 'remain' and was the one who sat at the back reading novels and ducking when other people threw chairs around. It was that kind of school. Come to think of it, I don't think we had prefects. They would have been in fear of their lives.

No I was one of the few who wasn't "invited" (we had loads of them for some reason). I have no idea why

It doesn't seem odd that you know whether they were or not - are most of your friends people you've known for years?! I wouldn't know about anyone I'd met since leaving school, which is almost everyone, because it was 28 years ago

Leaver - Deputy Head Girl god knows why they picked me, I was not a role model

LOL I left school ages ago but kept many pals from those days and attended a convent school which also had a percentage of boarders. Funny, some pals who voted remain got in touch after and when they dropped the hysteria and name calling and went from anger to grief (took a few days) we actually started communicating sensibly. They were my friends for a reason, I like them as people .
